The battle for the city’s best burger is heating up. The loosely packed, hand-formed, griddle-fried, cooked-to-medium burgers at this tiny Catholic-kitsch place on a dead strip of Queen East have a legitimate claim on the crown. They’re gloriously simple: made from tasty beef that’s ground in-house a few times a day, plus soft, exquisitely insubstantial buns that can be accessorized with old-school condiments. The double cheeseburger is a juicy, delicious mess. The Option—made from two roasted portobello mushroom caps sandwiching a mix of grated cheeses, then rolled in panko and decadently deep-fried—is the city’s first lust-worthy veggie burger. As for the restaurant’s unusual name, the proprietor, a former seminary student who claims to be “redeeming the hamburger one customer at a time.” Unlicensed. Cash only.
